[Verse 1] one by one we all know see truth behind a sledgehammer face one by one the room goes cold when your name lands hard in place one by one all tears fall down on the tile, down your sleeve one by one we hear it all what you lost, what you believe [Pre-Chorus] one by one, the walls give in one by one, we start to see there's a crack in every grin and it's breaking open me [Chorus] One by one one by one One by one we don't run one by one the threts come our way one by one we hold the line one by one we bend, we stay one by one we draw the sign [Verse 2] one by one we gett to know who stays close when the floor shakes who can stand in the afterglow when the sharp part of the day breaks one by one the names come back like stones dropped into dark water one by one we take it back make the hurt a little farther [Pre-Chorus] one by one, the walls give in one by one, we start to see there's a crack in every grin and it's breaking open me [Chorus] One by one one by one One by one we don't run one by one the threts come our way one by one we hold the line one by one we bend, we stay one by one we draw the sign [Bridge] If the whole world leans, let it lean I know your hand, I know your scar we were built in between every wound and every star [Final Chorus] One by one one by one One by one we don't run one by one the threts come our way one by one we hold the line one by one we rise today one by one we come alive
